Logging a manual
revenue entry.

Manual entries are the simplest revenue path nouz offers — two numbers and a save. They're the right choice when you're still setting up, when service revenue doesn't fit per-unit products, or when you only have the day's total without a per-item breakdown.

01 When should I use a manual entry?

Manual entries are the right tool whenever you don't have a per-item breakdown to log. Use them in your first week before products are set up, for services where individual treatments don't have stable per-unit COGS, on a chaotic day when you only have the totals, and for one-off cash payments that don't fit any SKU in your catalogue. The list below spells those cases out.

• It's your first week and you haven't set up products yet.
• You sell services where individual treatments don't have stable per-unit COGS.
• A specific day was chaotic and you only have totals, not a breakdown.
• You took a one-off €40 cash payment that doesn't fit any SKU in your catalogue.

02 How do I enter a manual entry?

1. 1
   Open Revenue

   Today is selected by default. Click another date in the calendar to backdate.

2. 2
   Click + Manual entry

   Opens the cash/card form.

3. 3
   Type cash (BAR)

   Gross total — VAT included.

4. 4
   Type card (EC)

   Gross total — VAT included.

5. 5
   Optional note

   "Morning shift", "Saturday market" — anything that helps future you remember.

6. 6
   Save

   Green toast confirms. The entry appears in today's list.

03 How do I edit a manual entry later?

Click the entry row to open it. The same form opens with your values pre-filled. Edit, save — done. The P&L recomputes immediately, and any Statistics insights that reference that day re-evaluate on next page load.

04 What can't a manual entry do?

Two things you give up by using manual entries instead of product sales: per-product margin tracking (a manual entry references no product, so it never feeds the product-performance ranking in Statistics) and automatic COGS computation (a manual entry carries no COGS, so you'd log that separately as a daily Expense if you want it accounted for). Both trade-offs are spelled out below.

• Per-product margin tracking. Manual entries don't reference a product, so they don't feed into the product performance ranking in Statistics. The day's revenue is captured, but you can't later ask "which item carried this day?".
• Automatic COGS computation. Manual entries don't carry a COGS — you'd need to log COGS separately as a daily Expense if you want it accounted for.
